Former Bellator and UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is back in action on April 7 with ONE Championship. Recently it was announced that ‘The Underground King; would face Iuri Lapicus on a card headlined by a flyweight championship fight between Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson.
Alvarez recently spoke to Morning Kombat about a whole host of things. Eventually he got onto the subject of the UFC most recent lightweight champion: Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Even though it seems Nurmagomedov is done with competing in MMA (despite Dana White’s best efforts), Alvarez cast his hat into the ring as someone who would ‘make sense’ for ‘The Eagle’ to fight next (if he returns).
